address that matter. It proposes something totally new, which is not in practice and which does not happen under normal circumstances. I will suggest that we have the chairperson at the level of a chief magistrate. They have also suggested chief justice rules to guide the administration of the processes. If for three months the Tribunal or the chairperson is unable to operate, then they write a report to the Chief Justice. It is not clear who fixes a hearing date. Is it the Chief Justice or the magistrate who has written a report why a matter has not proceeded ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me the opportunity. There have been quite a number of concerns from teachers, especially from Makueni. One thing which is clear about this matter is that there was no public participation. Second, is the distribution of the universities. Nowadays, Kenya has universities all over, from Coast to Nairobi, Central Kenya and Western Kenya. There are many universities where this matter can be conducted. Although the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) does a similar thing, first, it is in the Law Society of Kenya Act and the Regulations. Secondly, it is distinguishable from what the ...

In the last about four months, EPRA had not increased the prices of fuel and no reasons were given at all. The day these prices were raised, there was a quick consultation with a few suppliers and within an hour or so, a decision was made. That was an attempt of public participation which is mandatory in the Constitution.

I believe a solution will be found and they have to bear in mind the consequences of what they have already done. I am sure they can re-assess the situation, listen to the cries of Kenyans and balance the matter and we could have a way forward even before the House does its business. At the same time, I believe the Committee will also conduct a quick public participation because of the duration you have given. ...
